This was a project within the frame of the class "Bio-Inspired Motor Control and Robot Locomotion" hold at ETH Zurich.

The hopping monopod is modeled as a two body system. Spring-damper elements and actuators are included between body and leg and in the linear extension of the leg. The simulation shows active height, body pitch and speed control. A position control with set point filter is used to bring the hopper back to the origin to conduct somersaults. The somersaults are feed forward controlled.

  • @VoiceOfAleppo We often use MATLAB for simulations at our university. It is an easy way to get quickly to results and visualizations for small projects.

  • @fankipete ok , why didn't you pick a more elaborate language for scientific computing such as lisp for instance?

  • @VoiceOfAleppo MathWorks MATLAB

  • what's the name of the simulation software?
